The Facts About TCCSH

Fee & Membership Clarification

Participation in Teen Caregiver Community Service Hours (TCCSH) is free. TCCSH recognition, documentation, and service hours are not associated with membership or payment.

“While regional programs have supported caregiving youth for nearly two decades, the United States still lacks a national, visible, and civic-facing framework that recognizes teen caregiving as service.” Until Now!

Knowing Is Everything
